Noticing major shifts in opinion on lawn care (self.nolawns)

My hometown's newspaper just published an opinion piece about the disastrous effects, ecologically and financially, that lawn care causes. Not totally surprising but it's important to note that this is a retirement community in the bible belt!

Y'all, it's working! Keep spreading the word!

The biggest problem (in the US) has to be all the suburbs, especially those with HOAs, and rental properties.

These places aren't likely to change anytime soon. It's weird cus clover and no maintenance lawns would be ideal for everyone, but who knows.
